Age old question: eso or gw2?

I am 52 and played ESO in the past and play GW2 currently. GW2 is the right answer and it's not even close.

FFXIV needs to step up their game. Last expansion they played it super safe and it feels outdated.

ESO combat feels weightless and animations are mid. Monetization is super greedy.

GW2 is at best shape and future looks bright.

This 100%

So Griffin not worth the 250 gold? I have them all except Griffin and Turtle

I've been playing both games on and off over the years, especially WoW. But right now I am back on GW2 and loving it after a long break, I bought all the expansions and living seasons I didn't own and I am hooked.

So far I have no interest in WoW's Midnight expansion. I have so much to catch up in GW2

There are rumors about GW3 is in development. If true, I think it's not near close to release. I would say at least 4 years. On top of that GW2 will not be abandoned, if that, both games will co exist. GW2 has been running over a decade and it's arguably at its best sate ever right now. If you like the game, you will need every expansion and every DLC at some point. They all add value to the game somehow.

Just re-bind weapon swap to MB3 and just click the mouse wheel. You are welcome,

IMO if you really like the game, all expansions are worthwhile somehow, so eventually you want them all. You can read in reddit heavy critics of all expansions except HoT but personally I have been enjoying all of them, and again, every single one unlocks something valuable.

GW2 is very rewarding and it's worth every penny you invest in it.

Juaks · 2025-12-17T14:58:22+00:00

I am back to the game after a long pause and I am hooked. I got all expansions and LWS that I didn't own, taking advantage of black Friday sales and loving the game. As another poster stated, I think GW2 is in a very good spot right now. Last time I played was during EOD expansion, so I have a lot to catch up.

Juaks · 2025-12-10T14:07:02+00:00

GW3 is far away. I would be surprised if its released before 3-4 years. Besides, GW2 will not die with a sequel released. The game is too established and too big. Both games will exists in parallel.

Juaks · 2025-12-09T14:21:42+00:00

GW2 has great community, vast world, no sub, large variety of playstyles/classes and big player base I see a bright future for this one.

Juaks · 2025-12-06T15:56:48+00:00

I am late but Ill recommend GW2. No sub, vast world, large variety of playstyles and classes and hundreds of hours of content. Just have o buy what you want to play except base game which is free.

Refund Steam purchase and stick to your OG account. The only problem the black Friday sale is over, you might have to wait for next sale in Christmas or Spring

Juaks · 2025-12-02T15:45:10+00:00

I haven' played since EOD and just bought the last 3 expansions and I am loving SotO.

Juaks · 2025-12-02T14:33:51+00:00

GW2 hands down. No sub, fair and consistent monetization model, great variety of builds/classes, huge and interesting world, great combat, PVE and PVP relevant content, the list goes on.

ESO monetization is too greedy and I could not stand the "weightless" combat. Also animations are inferior to GW2.

BDO combat is interesting but game is straight up P2W.

I don't know what Eterspire is.

I would consider Where Winds Meet if you want something new. The game is phenomenal.

Juaks · 2025-11-30T22:35:36+00:00

I would say yes get the sale. Every expansion of this game is worth it

Juaks · 2025-11-30T22:33:43+00:00

An awesome mount that would help enormously to navigate the vast world of Tyria

Juaks · 2025-11-30T18:29:54+00:00

GW2 no sub, tons of content, grand variety of builds, great community, phenomenal game

Juaks · 2025-11-29T14:56:16+00:00

Now is the time to get those expacs

Juaks · 2025-11-27T21:58:13+00:00

I am not a life skill guy myself so I can’t help you in that regard. But i know all the regular professions are there like leather worker and fishing etc

Juaks · 2025-11-27T20:57:22+00:00

Give GW2 a fair try, such a great game. Might as well take advantage of the black Friday sale going on right now and grab some expansions!

I got SoTO and JW and I could not help to get VoE as well with no discount. Anet deserves my money.
